Dominion vs. Domination. Very clear (as mud) distinction there. care and stewardship vs control and power. The only difference in the words being the addition of the letters A and T. Interesting...T as in cross (to bear...or to be crucified on?)
"Folks with this spirit animal have an innate belief that there is just one particular person in the world for each of us and make a devoted and tentative spouse. Goose totem people are also good at setting boundaries and aggressive at keeping them in place. Their greatest desire is to manifest the “good life” for your family and community."
Not the happiest ending but you've written a powerful essay. Very nice! Watching your writing evolve was one of the main reasons I recently joined Writing in the Dark--I saw your mentions of it. Thank you!
A very good story; and a lesson to all us humans that we have no right to dominate any animal, whether of human or non-human kind.

I agree with Tania, a powerful essay. You had me invested in Chester—so, like you, may he continue to thrive wherever he might be.
